PLEAE HELP!! Vidaza or Dacogen??

My mother has had MDS, and has been recieving blood transfusions for almost a year now. Her MDS is a result of the chemotherapy she has had over the past 14 years to fight Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. She has been cancer free for five years but now MDS has surfaced. My mother is 60 years old and she doesn't think she could survive more chemo. Her doctor recommends treatment (vidaza or dacogen). Does anyone know which one is safer and more effective for someone of her age and fragile condition? Thanks, Rebecca
